Mini Viking - Crate Trolley

Ever noticed how children are obsessed with anything adults use to move heavy things? It's time to fuel that obsession! 

The Crate Trolley (or mini sack barrow, if you’re being formal) is the perfect addition to your outdoor area. It taps directly into a child's desire to associate with adult behaviour… suddenly, they’re not just playing; they're delivering vital supplies to the Forest School camp or moving treasure across the playground equipment.

It's suitable for little movers from age 2+ and is brilliantly sized (H73 x W31 x D41cm) for maximum manoeuvrability without tipping over. This simple piece of outdoor play equipment is a physical powerhouse, challenging children's gross motor skills, steering ability, and coordination as they push and pull their cargo. 

Crucially, it provides a fantastic prop for role playing games, turning a simple push into a high stakes delivery mission. Get ready for hours of crucial, self-directed heavy lifting!
